How to Play Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game - All the Basics in 17 Minutes

The Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game of Middle Earth SBG for short is my favorite game. It is made by Games Workshop the creator of Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar. Middle Earth SBG is very different to those games. Rather than focusing on large squads this game allows each model to do whatever it want. This adds a huge layer of tactical freedom truly making Middle Earth a game of skill. This is my favourite game and hopefully it can be yours as well!

I recently found one of the early copies of ME:SBG at a used book store. The return of the king version of the game. I've tested the game out and it's really something special. I've already modded it to other settings. My family even used to collect the game a long while ago and it's great to see that it's still around and hasn't changed much. All that's changed is a few additions. Much better than the 40k edition changes where the whole thing changes fundamentally. Great video. Please make more.

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks mate! I've been asked a few times so I will have to make a video out of it at some point. The key paint is Sybarite green. If you apply this over a white base coat it goes on pretty quickly. The skin was just a regular human skin tone mixed with a bright red I don't have an exact proportion just mixed it until it matched what I wanted. I did the cloth in yanden yellow (now averland sunset). Then all the pike shafts and hair were in a crème. Then everything got a wash in nuln oil and to do my highlights I just added a small drip of white each layer. Why did I paint my army like this? I have seen 100's of Uruk Hai all painted the regular way and wanted something a bit more artistic and unique. The inspiration behind the colour choice was oxidised copper. It might not be everyone's favourite but you haven't seen another Uruk Hai army like it

New to this game. Picked up Pelennor fields box to start. Coming from Star Wars Legion it's a weird concept to fight every single model individually vs rolling as unit. Seems like a lot of rolling in the game. Looking forward to learning though.

[@ConquestCreations]

It is a big departure from most other games but each model acing as an individual unit is what makes this game feel like a real battle. For me its one of the core features that makes this game stand out from all others as my favourite. It seems like a lot of rolling but it is very quick

After watching your videos i could finaly convince my group to start playing Mesbg. But one question keeps popping up: Does a model thats supporting with a spear convey its fightvalue to the combat or just a bonus dice? The rulebook doesnt really explain this very well. E.G. A Warrior of Minas tirith (F3) is getting supported by a Ranger (F4). Will the whole sides Fightvalue considered 4?

Thanks for the comment, Welcome to the game! The spear supporter will convey his fight value into the comment. This makes high fight low defence units like rangers ideal for sitting in the back row supporting

In a multiple combat (2 orcs VS 1 elf) could one orc use the shield to get two 1d6 dices and the other orc hit as normal so that if they win the combat they roll 1d6 dice to wound? Or if one uses shield the other is forced to use shield too?

Hello, i am new to the lort sbg hobby and i have a rule question that i hope will get answered: If I have a model with a two hand weapon, that will use it as such one, in a fight, and it is supported by a model with a spear: Will the two hand weapon - 1 penalty affect the highest of both dice resuts roled in the fight phase or do i have to differentiate them to se which one will get the penalty? And if I win the fight, will the +1 to wound effect affect both dice or do i have to differentiate then eighter, to see who gets the bonus?

[@SonsOfGondor1]

The 2h penalty and bonus only affect the 2h die - the spear die is unaffected by either.

I used to play and collect Warhammer Old World as a kid back in the early noughties and want to get back into the hobby but cannot bring myself to buy into the Age Of Sigmar stuff. I love LOTR and after watching this video you've convinced me to go down the Middle Earth route 👍 thanks

[@nickbangr]

How do you keep track of which units charged who? If you're moving 20 models and get to the combat phase you're going to have to just remember who moved into who off the top of your head? Seems feasible but when you get to giant army numbers I wonder how you would even keep track of all the moving parts. This video helps but man that rules manual is dense. The control zones, line of sight, shooting obstructions, all the moving parts you have to keep track of and minor rules to tick. I think I'm going to have to just set up a minor skirmish and play against myself to see it in practice.

[@ConquestCreations]

Model who are fighting are in base contact with each other so its very easy to keep track of. Charging is only relevant for cavalry models where it is generally clear because if the player with cavalry moved first then they would have charged. In any cases were it isn't clear you can use tokens. Overall the game is easy to learn but hard to master. The key things to know are how movement, control zones, and combat works. After you get them you can start worrying about finer details. I would recomend starting with infantry armies with out magic that way you start with the easiest stuff to learn and can work your way up from there.

[@nickbangr]

@@ConquestCreations Thanks for the quick reply. I will do just that (start with infantry only). I've only read through the rules book once and haven't put it into practice yet so it sort of bypassed me that charging really only matters when cavalry are performing the charge for the bonus.

So are their modifiers for shooting through, past obstacles? Would seem odd for an elf to have as much trouble doing so as a goblin.

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the comment. Middle Earth has my favourite cover system of any game. If half of a target is obscured it makes sense that it's twice as difficult to hit. An elf will still hit on a 3+ while a goblin will hit on a 5+ but once you have hit to get past a piece of cover is a 4+ regardless

@@ConquestCreations huh. Very interesting. I have experience with Warhammer 40k, so I know how generally that system works. And I understand that original Warhammer fantasy had more tactical elements in it which set things apart (especially compared to AoS). So I would like to ask, how does the core rules compare to what we have? Does it play out like it's more about tactics and manuevaring? It seems that way since it hasn't changed the core rules at all, but I haven't had the chance to play with the stuff yet. I wont lie, Lord of the rings might be the ONLY thing that's get me back into GWs tabletop gaming scene. I've grown rather wary of GWs frankly very anti consumer friendly ways and that's what pushed me away from the hobby as a whole. I didnt like how I felt like I had to bust out the wallet in order to be even close to viable on the table. I know that the pricing scene for Lotr isn't any different, but somehow I feel like i would get back into the game/hobby if i knew i didnt have to worry about the money meta. I was a Lotr fan before I was a warhammer fan, so i remember when the game was first released but i could never find people to play with. Tldr: my main concern is whether Lotr will still satisfy my desire for a more tactical play style. I get that army builds and composition is important, but I also hate metas. I like finding my own solution to problems on the battlefield with what I got. If that makes sense.

Good video but this game sounds terrible... like an outdated one from the 80s. Not up to par with modern systems whatsoever... just random dice chugging. Fights are just whoever rolls higher? That's horrible.

[@ConquestCreations]

Of all of Games Workshops games this is often refered to as the game that requires the largest amount of skill. There is a huge amount of micro managing. Yes the side that roll higher wins the fight but there are numerous ways to maximise how many dice you roll and who wins on a draw. Also you are able to spend resources to alter your dice giving you tactical options. In a 'How to play' video it's hard to go deep into tactics. I would recommend having a look at the Conquest Champions league finale to get an idea of the depth of the game
